That has to be the first time in history that phrase could be applied to you given your history with prefects and whatnot

Paul Anka!!!

Alistair wrote:Paul Anka!!!

Who are you calling a 'anka?

(Correct)

Someone has already got 1964 (Not Fade Away), the final top 10 Stones hit is Start Me Up.

Was their last top 10 hit Love is Strong?

Love is Strong was #10 on UK airplay.....

Proper charts sean, none of this airplay rubbish.

Ah, I can go back to doing work.

Sh*t on here.

Sh!t supermarket sushi, and chinese hot and sour chicken soup, with a curry samosa. 7/10

No I didn't. I saw it but we have gone through that whole Alan Donald lookalike thing numerous times.

Why are you in a mood Tino?

Time of the month....

I'm not particularly. Just trying to stop Sean repeating himself.

It will only be a matter of time before he tells us how much he hates people going into a pub and ordering a coffee. Haven't had that one for at least a week.

You sound like you are in a mood...

Has work given you a cob-on? (sic?)

It gives me a cob-on everyday. Nothing different in that respect.

Fear not Rick, my brief lunch time appearance has come round. That will cheer Tina up no end.

That has cheered me up. I miss you, Jeff.

I had to wait at least 5 minutes at an empty bar yesterday whilst the barmaid made a cup of tea for someone. Drives me bananas. I only stayed because i'd put a pound in the Bullseye machine and the touchscreen wouldn't work.

I'm glad you are not in a mood any more Tino...

I wasn't in a mood, rICk.

Although I do have limits.

TSMR's granddad was taken into hospital last night. Does it make me a bad person if the first thought in my head was the inheritance?

Rowley wrote:Does it make me a bad person if the first thought in my head was the inheritance?

Yep.

I go round his house every Wednesday and have done for the last 13 years. I spend the evening listening to his increasingly more racist and increasingly ill informed rants about various news stories. By my way of thinking I have earned every penny.

No.

Is that a better answer?

Thanks Tina, have been feeling a bit bad about it, knowing those closest to me won't think less of me for it means a lot.

I like a bit of old school racism. It balances out the overly PC world we live in.

How wealthy is he? In Yorkshire terms.

1 or 2 outside toilets?

You can flush the sink in his house...

State of the art oven....

As long as the first thought isn't, "I hope they don't check for poisoning", you'll be OK however, you have come across as a tight fisted money grabbing ****....I'm so very proud!
